The doctrine of justification by faith alone is a central tenet of the Protestant Reformation, contrasting with the Roman Catholic Church's understanding of justification through infused righteousness. The Protestant view emphasizes the imputation of Christ's righteousness, while the Roman Catholic Church sees justification as a process of sanctification. The concept of instrumental cause, as discussed by Aristotle, is also relevant to the debate, with the Protestant reformers arguing that faith is the sole instrumental cause of justification.

The Roman Catholic View

The Roman Catholic view of justification emphasizes the role of baptism and faith as the initial steps, but requires cooperation with infused grace and works of satisfaction to maintain justification. In contrast, the Protestant view holds that justification is by faith alone, without the need for works or sacraments to maintain salvation. [... more]

The Ninety-Five Theses

Martin Luther's experience of salvation led him to re-read the Psalms and understand justification by faith on virtually every page of the Bible. This understanding was influenced by Augustine's interpretation of Romans 1, which described the righteousness of God as a righteousness that God provides for people who are not righteous. Luther's discovery of this concept led him to challenge the abuses of the Roman Catholic Church, particularly the sale of indulgences, which he saw as a corrupt practice that led people to believe they could buy salvation.

Martin Luther

Martin Luther's journey to becoming the spark that ignited the Reformation was marked by intense guilt and a deep desire for redemption. His experiences as a monk and his visit to Rome, where he was disillusioned by the corruption of the Roman priesthood, ultimately led him to question the Catholic Church's teachings and to write the 95 theses that would change the course of history.

Sons of Covenant

God's forgiveness is not automatic, but comes to those who truly repent of their sin and turn to him for mercy. The ignorance of those who committed sin against Christ is not an excuse, but rather a call to repentance and humility. Only through humility and acknowledging our sins can we experience the erasing of our transgressions and receive God's forgiveness. [... more]

How to Deal with Guilt

Guilt is a universal problem that affects every human being, defined by the law of God, not by personal feelings or societal norms. The absence of guilt feelings can lead to a license to sin, and the conscience can be seared, twisted, or distorted, excusing us for our actions. The remedy for guilt is confession and renewed faith in the finished work of Christ. [... more]

Understanding Suffering

The Bible teaches that suffering is never an exercise in futility, but rather a means for God to polish and sanctify His people, drawing them close to Himself. Christians are called to expect suffering as part of their fallen world and to find comfort in the presence of God, even in the midst of pain. The biblical view of suffering is in contrast to pagan views, which often seek to deny or escape suffering, and instead offers a redemptive purpose and a bridge to glory. [... more]

Knowing the Will of God

The question of knowing God's will for one's life is a complex one, with the Bible speaking about God's will in more than one way. The revealed will of God, or Deus Revelatus, refers to that which God has revealed, while the hidden will of God, or Deus Absconditus, refers to the things that God has not chosen to unveil. Christians must focus on the preceptive will of God, or the commands of God, to discern His will for their lives. [... more]

Put Off the Old Man

The Apostle Paul's call for every Christian to put on the new man and pattern their lives after the one who is the truth, the Lord Jesus Christ, is rooted in the understanding that truth is not just a theoretical concept, but a determining factor in how one lives. The Christian is called to walk in a radically different way from the prevailing morality around them, and this requires a renewal of the mind through the truth of God's Word. [... more]

Grace for Ministry

According to Paul's letter to the Ephesians, God bestows unearned favor, or grace, on believers, which enables them to serve others in Christ. This special grace is given to every member of the body of Christ, not just pastors and teachers, to equip them for ministry and edification of the church. The purpose of this enabling grace is to bring believers to unity of faith and knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, and to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ. [... more]

Is Grace Cooperative?

The concept of free will is a central theme in the debate between Arminianism and Reformed theology. Arminius believed that prevenient grace is necessary for conversion, but it is not irresistible. He argued that man has the freedom to resist or cooperate with this grace, and that the fault lies within the person if they are not converted. In contrast, Reformed theology teaches that the grace of regeneration is effectual, and that it is both internal and effectual. The dispute between Arminius and Reformed theology revolves around the role of human ability in salvation. [... more]

Oh, How I Love Your Law

The psalmist's profound affection for God's law is a celebration of the law's ability to reveal the character of God and bring joy to the soul. In contrast, modern Christians often view the law as irrelevant or distasteful, but the psalmist's words remind us that the law is a lamp unto our feet and a light to our path, guiding us in our walk with God.
